"Dear Richard, Jerry, Sharon and your family,
We saw Rich in June and remarked how well he looked. He told us he was given a year. He fooled us all. We saw Richard every time we were in Nebraska, he was a great friend with a wonderful sense of humor. We will miss him.
A good life, a great loss and a rare soul remembered.Our deepest sympathy to you all in your loss."
